Few days back, the reports surfaced that Amazon is developing a wide range of gadgets, and one of the smartphone which will have a 3D screen. In addition to the two smartphone models, Amazon is also said is actually working on a device for streaming music “audio-player”, and a set-top box.

The alleged 3D smartphone will include a glasses-free 3D display, and the device is capable of tracking a user’s retina, causing images to “float” above the screen. While the retina tracking can also be used to take control over the smartphone either.

In the past, we read about the 3D screen cover for iPhone, which actually does the same thing and today’s technology will immediately makes one think of Nintendo’s 3DS. Unlike Nintendo’s glasses-free tech, Amazon smartphone display will reportedly allow a 3D image from all angles.

No surprise to hear about Amazon working on smartphone, but a bit strange to hear news floating on a possible 3D-enabled device. Although, the 3D-technology has had a mixed success at best in the customer point of view in the current technology market. Like Amazon with a smartphone added with a very advanced display could make some difference in the smartphone market.

If the report is accurate, then Amazon will be the first major smartphone makers to introduce a smartphone with 3D capabilities. In the past HTC and LG offered phones that shot and played three-dimensional video and offered glasses-less 3D displays and sported two cameras on the back to compile their pop-out images. Now, it’s time for Amazon with its Kindle 3D smartphone?

Mobile internet is certainly becoming and playing an integral roll when consuming information as well as being the major way of many a business, the race for ever increasing mobile data speeds has seen development of 5G ready even while 4G is still a pie for many. Now, the competition begins with the Korean company “Samsung”, is one poking its nose into the future with 5G technology, which has today announced that it has successfully run tests that have achieved a whopping 1Gbps download speed, with more accurate to come.

According to Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, Samsung has imminently tested its 5G platform, pulling down data at one Giga-bits/sec in recent tests, that used the 28 GHz waveband and 64 different antenna elements to pull the trick off, and Samsung claiming that the technology could theoretically achieve tens of gigabits per second, that will be available to customers by 2020.

To put that 1Gbps speed into substance, the projected maximum we should expect from the currently rolling out 4G technology is around 75Mbps, and that’s obviously considered to be boasting speed! While Samsung will not be ready to launch its G technology into the hands of customers until around the 2020 time frame – matching the European Commission’s goal to have 5G ready quite nicely.

Samsung isn’t the only one company currently testing 5G data, with NTT DoCoMo announcing a few months ago that it too had performed successful tests of its 5th-generation technology. It has used car full of antennas utilizing the 400MHz spectrum to achieve 10Gbps. So, there are two big players planning to release the speed stakes, and wo wonder wo’ll be next? Might be Apple?. Probably not T-Mobile or Sprint, while AT&T and Verizon has 4G mobile data technology aready.

Rimind you and don’t even expect about the next iPhone or Galaxy S series to have a 5G badge on it any time soon! Because, it’s still in progress! (via: Twitter)

Starting at just $119, the Firefox OS Dev devices that were on offer present an enticing prospect to anyone interested in the Web browser company’s open-source mobile ecosystem, and though the Firefox OS is looking to do battle in an ever-crowded market. Well, the legions of Firefox fanatics behind the project give it a very strong chance of forging a substantial user base.

Both devices are the first hardware to be offered with Firefox OS on board, and both devices are now listed as “Out of stock,” just a few hours after first going on sale. Although the Keon and Peak devices are essentially preview devices, specially designed to give developers the offering to test out what they actually can do with the new Linux-based open-source mobile OS before it sees its general public launch this June in five initial countries, including Spain, Brazil, Portugal and Venezula.

Mozilla, better known for its Firefox Web browser, now and then it’s trying to get into the smartphone business, like Facebook being a social network. Both the Firefox OS-based smartphones were revealed last week that these dev phones would be rolling out as of today, along with the lower end ‘Keon’ device priced at $119, with a slightly higer performing ‘Peak’, which will set you back $194. Both are out of stock courtesy of Geeksphone, and however the retailer is based in the European nation of Spain, either device were eligible for shipping to just about anywhere in the world.

The Geeksphone devices are modest in terms of hardware specifications, but the Firefox OS will likely be positioned as more of a mid-market play. With another mobile operating system to take on iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry, Geeksphone has been overwhelmed with demand. Unlike its rivals, Firefox OS is purely web-based operating system which apparently runs HTML5 apps.

Every big gun have its own mobile operating systems in the smartphone and tablet markets, but following years of two ‘iOS’ & ‘Android’ dominance, many other companies are now looking to stand up and be counted. Microsoft has impressed with Windows Phone, BlackBerry has sought to reinvent itself with BB10, and even Canonical’s open-source Ubuntu, which is a slightly more advanced stage than the Firefox OS, is now looking to make some competition.

If you are indeed one of those individuals, and would like to check out these still fledgling stages of the Firefox OS, please head over to Geeksphone. Guess what? The devices might be back in stock at one stage soon and don’t take our word on it. The Keon features a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 processor, 3.5in (320 x 480) screen, 4GB of storage and a 3Mp camera. Meanwhile, the Peak uses a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, 4.3in qHD IPS screen, 4GB of internal storage and an 8Mp camera.

Note: The described phones are only the developer smartphone, consider it and certainly not the kind you would want as your daily runner at any cost. Because, the software is not ready yet and there are higher chances that you’ll run into a lot of bumps on the go and warned. It’s hard to make any kind of predictions about Firefox OS’s potential success based on these very early results of two developer handsets,

The Skype app is now live in the Windows Phone Marketplace and brings with it all of the features you would expect from a mobile version of the popular software that was originally created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis but subsequently purchased by Microsoft in 2011.

If you’re one of those Windows Phone users, after downloading, you will be able to place voice and video calls to any of their contacts as well as make use of the built-in instant messaging type features to send text based messages. Calls to other Skype users are obviously free of charge with the app not being platform limited, meaning that Windows Phone Skype users can place voice and video calls to any worldwide Skype user, regardless of the platform they are using Skype on.

However, as the full version doesn’t yet have support for receiving calls in the background – if the app isn’t running, your phone isn’t ringing. But, the ability to search through and add new contacts is a welcome feature, with the final release also benefiting from some user interface improvements over the beta version.

Note: The lack of background abilities may prove to be a bit of a deal breaker for lots of users, means that the Skype app actually has to be running for incoming calls to be received.

Yes 2 days ago a Vietnamese tech site has released a video purporting to be the device, but the samrtphones’s specifications list don’t quit fit with Amazon’s. Yesterday’s leaked specs suggested an 8-megapixel shooter would take the main camera role, here Amazon Germany has mentioned it will include a 12-megapixel camera – stay tuned there’s still to come.

The display will be a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED one, so there will be – as predicted – plenty of screen real-estate for Android users to play around with.

Now know about the price, the unlocked, SIM-free version will retail for €599, which, at the current exchange rate, is just shy of 800 US dollars. While we still believe the Vietnamese leak yesterday to be a legitimate prototype, the labeling of the device suggests it was made in December of last year, since which Samsung will have made quite a few improvements and amendments.

There’s likely to be 16GB of internal storage (expandable via the microSD card slot), while the camera will be further enhanced by an LED flash. In terms of the operating system, we’ll certainly be seeing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and although Amazon cannot shed any light on the design, it’s likely to offer a ceramic finish.

Whatever! wait until May 3rd to find out what the Korean LCD specialist has up its sleeve, and if the above said becomes true then its the most successful Android-based smartphone launch to date ever!
